We have a responsibility to ensure you are informed of not only the options available to you regarding valuation,
but also what is included within the coverage. We hope this information will help you understand the coverage.

Tour your home prior to the move and calculate how much your household goods are worth. Then decide which of our 3 coverage options suits you best.
For your protection, these options are part of the transportation contract.

Valuation Options

Option No. 1

At no extra charge, moving companies provide basic compensation for damage and/or loss. This is called release rate liability.
With this option, the carrier's maximum liability is $0.60 per pound per article.

Example

If a chair with a replacement value of $350.00 and a weight of 20lbs. is damaged or lost, the maximum settlement will be 20lbs. * $0.60 = $12.00.

If a chair with a replacement value pf $350.00 is irreparably damaged or lost, you will be compensated at its replacement value of $350.00.

IF YOU SELECT THIS OPTION:

The value declared on your shipment is the greater of:

The replacement cost of your shipment

the minimum value of $10.00 per pound of the shipment.

On the day of loading, your bill will have $10,000/room or $10,000/1000 lbs. already predetermined. You can increase your coverage, but not decrease the minimum.

Option No. 3

Replacement Value, but with a deductible can be purchased on your shipment. If Option 3 is chosen and a claim is filed, the deductible must be paid to entertain the claim.
